Fulham is a club with a rich history situated in the heart of London with a reputation for producing some English greats, such as George Cohen and Bobby Robson.

The club currently competes in the Sky Bet Championship with Slavisa Jokanovic at the helm. They harbour ambitions of returning to the Premier League sometime soon, but recent years have seen them closer to a disastrous drop to the third tier of English football.

A fast start to this season followed by a recent slump means that Fulham are sitting in 13th place at the moment.

It is hard to imagine their fall from grace in recent years: from an established Premier League side and Europa League finalists to 20th place in the Championship in just a matter of years.

Despite always being regarded as a club that belongs in the top two tiers of English football, Fulham have never won a major trophy in the history of the club. Their two finals were both unsuccessful, first losing to West Ham in the FA Cup final in 1975 and then losing after extra time against Atletico Madrid in the Europa League in 2010.

Here, FootballLeagueWorld writer Jay Williams identifies FOUR facts that you might not have known about Fulham...

Craven Cottage was actually a cottage

In case you were ever wondering about the name of Fulham's ground, it originates in fact.

Baron William Craven built a cottage in 1780, roughly situated on the centre circle.

Rumours suggest that a number of notable people such as Florence Nightingale, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jeremy Bentham and Queen Victoria might have stayed in this cottage.

The cottage was destroyed by a fire in 1888 and abandoned for six years before Fulham decided to build their ground on the ruins.

It took two years for them to restore the site and they played their first game at Craven Cottage in 1896.

The original Craven Cottage was a hunting lodge surrounded by woodland which formed part of Anne Boleyn's hunting grounds.

Fulham were the second London club to turn professional

Arsenal (then known as Royal Arsenal 1891) were the first club from London to become professional.

If you had to guess the second, you might think it was Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, West Ham United or Crystal Palace.

But no, it was Fulham.

On the 12th December 1898, Fulham became the second London side to be granted professional status. They were still playing at Craven Cottage back then but were sporting red and white kits rather than their white and black strip nowadays.

Young goalscorer records

Ryan Sessegnons

You will probably be aware of Fulham's young sensation Ryan Sessegnon, who has broken into the first team this season and impressed immediately.

What you might not know is the implications of Sessegnon's goal against Cardiff City in the league.

The 16-year-old left-back netted at Craven Cottage to open the scoring against the Bluebirds just two minutes after being introduced as a substitute.

In scoring this goal, Sessegnon became the first player born in the 2000's to score a goal in the Football League. He also became the youngest ever Championship goalscorer at just 16 years and 92 days old.

Unpopular by postcode

A remarkable fact about Fulham is that there is no UK postcode in which Fulham is the most popular club.

This is not to say that Fulham fans are scarce. In fact, over recent years, Fulham have hit the top 20 attendances in the country at times.

However, being situated in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham alongside Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers makes it very competitive.

Most Fulham fans originate from the South West London regions but with neighbourhoods also occupied by Chelsea and QPR fans, Fulham have not got a majority support in any postcode area.

This is also partly due to Chelsea's Stamford Bridge being located actually in Fulham.
